Another Perfect Afternoon to Forage

Last year I was thrilled to attend the first ever Forage event. This year I was even more thrilled to go to the second Forage as part of FOOD Week. It was another picture perfect afternoon. The format was the same. Six stations over the same 3.5 km path from Borenore to Nashdale. Over 600 people joined the festivities this year! It was fabulous.

It was a beautiful autumnal afternoon amongst the vines.

First stop. Galantine of Chicken with Prune and Pork Stuffing. Michael Manners.

Delicious....

Plenty of wine ready for the hordes

A first view of Mt Canobolas

Then a short stroll to Station Two

Sadly brown soup in a cup isn't that easy to photograph, but it was tasty.

People greatly enjoyed the opportunity to stroll amongst the vines

Many of the grapes had been harvested, but there were still some to sample

When I saw the title and the first photo, I thought you had an outing where you actually foraged for food. I guess you don't find that kind of food everywhere. It looks delicious. I love the sky over the vines. Here's Mine

Oh yeah. I so wish I could have been walking with you but the next best thing was being there through your eyes. What a fantastic event and it looks like you had amazing weather. I can't wait to learn about the next one.

THAT is my kind of foraging! The wine, the amazing food, a domestic to carry the glasses, a gentle stroll! I like the idea of walking from one station to the next perhaps justifying the continuous hunger and thirst - hehehe.

Thank you for sharing this perfect afternoon with us and I wish that I could have been there too!
